In recent years, the term personalized medicine has received more and more attention in the field of healthcare. The increasing use of this term is closely related to the astonishing advancement in DNA sequencing technologies and other high-throughput biotechnologies. A large amount of personal genomic data can be generated by these technologies in a short time. Consequently, the needs for managing, analyzing, and interpreting these personal genomic data to facilitate personalized care are escalated. In this article, we discuss the challenges for implementing genomics-based personalized medicine in healthcare, current solutions to these challenges, and the roles of health information management (HIM) professionals in genomics-based personalized medicine.
近年来,“个性化医疗”一词在医疗保健领域受到越来越多的关注。该术语使用的日益增加与DNA测序技术和其他高通量生物技术的惊人进展密切相关。这些技术可在短时间内生成大量个人基因组数据。因此,为促进个性化医疗而管理、分析和解读这些个人基因组数据的需求不断升级。在本文中,我们讨论了在医疗保健中实施基于基因组学的个性化医疗所面临的挑战、针对这些挑战的当前解决方案,以及健康信息管理(HIM)专业人员在基于基因组学的个性化医疗中的作用。
